Also of note is the 1 million downloads of the iTunes music program itself. When the iTMS was first released, it took a full week to sell a million songs. The store has now had 14 million songs purchased and downloaded since its original launch in April."

It looks like people do want to pay for their music... if only you'd damn well make it reasonably attractive for them to do so.

I expect sales will climb for Mac users, but not for Windows users. I had a chance to load the software on a Win machine here at work, and it's crap. All sorts of problems logging in to the store (although radio worked). I expect Windows users will remain separated as usual from Mac users.
